They don’t make a lot of EBITDA considering the valuations.

I was really surprised by that.... I am not sure what the cause is because TV revenue is crazy high now. I know the players are earning a hell of a lot more but to me it still doesnt make sense.

It's for the prestige. Heck if I had the money I'd buy an nba team even if the rate of return was close to 0%, I just need it to fund its own operations I don't need a profit

Yeah, a lot of vanity premium in there.

Is it vanity or is it that the expansion cost would easily be $5 billion plus. I mean Arizona's possible hockey team is going to cost a billy that why the owner got that much in the sale. Even WNBA teams are getting $500-600 million expansion fees

Toronto paid 115M for an expansion wnba team, which is still completely ridiculous.
Not sure what an expansion nba team would go for. I would guess if the avg team value is 4B, probably somewhere around there. Maybe a bit less.

I’m just checked I was thinking the soccer expansions! With the WNBA though while Toronto paid 115 Austin is expected to hit 200… wild jump there alone

EBITDA/revenue isn’t bad considering players get 50% but teams valued at 40-50 times earnings is quite the premium.
